What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Corboley, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gently undulating landscape as a circular grass-covered area thirty-five metres across, bounded partly by an earthen bank and partly by scrub. A field bank once incorporated its northern perimeter but has been removed, leaving no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. Another rath sits sixty metres to the west-southwest.
